You should have no right to decide what I do with my music or software. If you

decide what to do with the fruits of my labors. For the puposes of this
discussion the fact that I do share my software and music under open licenses is
not really relevant.

Dear Jan,
I made five albums + various other tracks in the last eight years, and
everything is available to download for free (192kbp mp3 and ogg) under
the creative commons licence(so it is legal to share them):
http://www.cesaremarilungo.com/music
I get more than 3000 downloads each month just from my website and I've
made my music available in other sites too, like download.com (+7700
dls) , purevolume etc.

Lee, I think you're preaching to those who feel they have a right to
anything merely because they want it. Creativity, hard work, incentive,
all of these seem to mean very little to those who would rationalize
away any form of ownership which prevents them from having what they
want for no cost. Were the shoe on the other foot I doubt if they would
be quite so adamant that copyright is evil - that is, if it were their
song or novel that everyone was flogging about the internet without
permission.
In fact sharing mp3 files shouldn't be
illegal. It is another example
of artificial scarcity.
What does "scarcity" have to do with anything. No one else has any
right to my creations - they are mine. It is up to ME whether I want to
give it away or charge for it or refuse to show it to anyone.
I have a collection of 1000+ cds, mostly bought when I
still had a job.
Nonetheless, I believe that sharing mp3 files on p2p networks shouldn't
be illegal.
I tend to think that sharing music over the internet is probably good for CD
sales but again, it's not our call to make. We didn't create the content and we
don't have the right to decide what can be done with it. I deplore what the RIAA
and the MPAA are doing but mostly because I think they're being amazingly stupid
about the whole thing.

To embrace the Net and what it really meant in these last few years is a
shift of paradigm that has been fully understood by very few people.
And artists, sometimes, are the last to join a cultural change. When
they're supposed to be the first.
At least, the open source software phenomenon is the proof that there
are more open minded talented programmers than open minded artists.

So do I - the freedom to enjoy the fruits of one's labors. I don't
consider it freedom if society has some kind of automatic claim on my
creations.

So does pretty much everyone on this list. There must be nearly as many
conflicting ideas about how to achieve freedom as there are for peace.
Please try not to assume things. ;)
